Ankle question

[Blazerunner71]

I can't wear my blaze at work im in catering and im worried spilling something on it or getting it wet doing dishes is it possible to wear on my ankle

There are several discussions of ideas to wear the Fitbit on the ankle. Yes most are for other models but you'll get an idea. 

One option would be to buy a Zip and use this at work .

I actually wear it on my ankle quite often due to work. Wrap the strap around my ankle and wear normal socks which hold it in place. I have now bought one of the silicone straps from eBay with the holes in it. I'm planning on making an extra hole near the end which I reckon would hold it in place but can't tuck it in to secure it but hopefulky no need for long socks.

Thank you for sharing I am wondering do you find that the 2 are equal in steps?

Can you all develop a tracker designed for the ankle? I work in the home a lot (carrying laundry basket, kid, pushing stroller, shopping cart, etc.) and my Charge 2 definitely does not give me all my steps. 

What is FitBit's solution for people in situations like or similar to mine?

[Rich_Laue]

I haven't heard of any solution but Fitbit uses calories, not steps, to compare the different exercises. 

There have been threads on the way people mounted the Blaze to the ankle, and I have one friend who makes her own bands for the blaze. It would not be hard to make a longer band.

Hi Richard... I'm still around.. I did tests a few years ago and the image are my results.. I also found it accurate if the sensors are on the inside of the ankle.. for the HR
